Hello,
i have a problem with some strange spam emails, which lock up my
email reception.
The problem is the following : I am using fetchmail to download my
email (from a pop3 server), and fetchmail passes the email to my
local sendmail daemon who gives it to my local imap server (cyrus).

even no dns resolve option for sendmail, or even better some way to
tell fetchmail to use the idle command to keep the connectio to the
pop server open ?
sendmail.mc supports FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains'),
